[Intro]
D   Bm7   D   Bm7

[Verse 1]
D
Red
                      Bm7
I'm talking ’bout the sun coming
 up and the sun going down
     D
On a John Deere, turning
      Bm7
 up a hard work check
Bm7
Making that blue collar
 country boy's neck
D
Red
                      Bm7
I'm talking ’bout the color
of them jerseys on
 a Friday night
       D
At the end of another long,
 hot, dry summer
           Bm7
'Tween the dust and the rust,
 the trucks are half
              A
 covered in red
A
Like a bloodhound
G
Tracking some
 whitetail buck down

[Chorus]
                D
I ain't talking politics,
 I'm talking small town
              Bm
And if you're from one,
 you know what
 I'm talking 'bout
G         D
It's everywhere, I swear,
from the courthouse bricks
     Bm
To a crushed Bud heavy
     G
can fading in the ditch
         D
Like the book of John,
 like a barn door
    Bm
And hearts your hand’s
over ’cause you're thankful for
G     D
Every shipped off soul
 that was born to fight
      Bm
For a wind-torn flag that’s
 G                  D    Bm7  G
 blue and white and red

[Verse 2]
D
Red
                    Bm7
I'm talkin' 'bout a county
 line stop sign full of birdshot
    D
The cup your beer’s
 in sitting 'round a fire
          Bm7
Like your bank account
when you bought them tires
        A
That led
A
You down a dirt road
             G
And got some red lips
leaning cross the console

Got your back if

Hey, we all bleed

How to play Red: key, chords and progression

Red by HARDY feat. Morgan Wallen is built around D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), with 5 chords in all: D, Bm7, A, G and Bm.

The progression the song keeps returning to is G – D – Bm – G (IV – I – vi – IV in D major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – lah – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes G, Em7, D, C, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 60% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
